15 things we now know about the former BBC DJ's shocking abuse

A separate report was also published on Thursday regarding allegations of sexual abuse made against Savile’s older brother Johnny, who died in 1998, at another hospital. Some of the new findings include:

Stoke Mandeville Hospital (Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHST)

A girl of 11 asked Savile for his autograph after spotting him in the cafeteria. He asked her why she deserved one and the girl replied she was a hospital volunteer and it was her 11th birthday. Savile pretended he could not hear her reply until she was stood right in front of him. He pulled down her top and said she was a big girl for her age. Once ‘Victim 46’ had found a pen Savile pinned her against the counter and whilst he signed the autograph he put one hand up the girl’s dress and inside her knickers sexually assaulting her. The girl never told anyone what happened and never returned to the hospital.

A 12-year-old girl was sexually assaulted by Savile in the TV lounge after being admitted to have her tonsils out in 1977. The presenter walked the girl to the empty room, asked her if she had a boyfriend and “swiftly raped her”.

The girl was unaware of who Savile was at the time and described him to investigators as a white-haired porter who wore a gold chain and smoked cigars. She complained to staff following the attack but was told not to say anything by the nurse for fear of her, the nurse, getting into trouble. Savile sexually assaulted the girl again later that night.
